I love these Amoji Masks, ubiquitous Asian digital art reinterpreted through African analog tradition by young contemporary artists. Via @artafrica_mag: ART AFRICA is proud to share our exciting new discovery – Toufic Beyhum (@touficbeyhum), an inspiring photographer, who’s work features on the cover of our DESTINATION HAPPINESS themed, June 2018 print edition. ‘Amoji Masks’ was inspired by the ever-increasing connectivity across the African continent, and the inevitable clash between modern and traditional cultures. Beyhum commissioned young, Namibian artists to recreate familiar emojis in an ‘African mask’ style using both recycled and traditional Namibian materials.
